static <T> java.util.List<T>	list(T... values) Method to directly initialise lists List<String> list = Collections.list("fish", "prod", "nose"); is equivalent to List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>(); list.add("fish"); list.add("prod"); list.add("nose");

Method Detail

map

public static <K,V> Collections.MapBuilder<K,V> map(K key,
                                                    V value)

MapBuilder provides a way to initialise maps directly.
Map<String, String> map = Collections.map("fish", "bicycle")
.map("croup", "throat")
.map("monkey", "nuts");
is some what more concise that
Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>
map.put("fish", "bicycle");
map.put("croup", "throat");
map.put("monkey", "nuts");

list

public static <T> java.util.List<T> list(T... values)

Method to directly initialise lists
List<String> list = Collections.list("fish", "prod", "nose");
is equivalent to
List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
list.add("fish");
list.add("prod");
list.add("nose");

public static <T> java.util.List<T> list(java.util.Iterator<T> values)
